Hey guys! A have a sound related issue.

I have a Roccat XTD 5.1 Digital headset. It has its own external soundcard. The problem that I have is that I can hear sound distortion especially at high frequencies but after I reconnect the headphones I can continue watching a video/listening to music with no distortion or any kind of problems till the end. But if I close the video and open it again the distortion reappears. I tried reinstalling the drivers but it didn't help. Any idea about what might cause it? Thanks for your help.
